AN INSURANCE AGENT
WHO INSURES POOR PEOPLE AT

A day or two iif;o tlio writi-r was intro
li!'t:d to ii well fed unil fa!iii,iiakly thv .seil
tnaa tif alHtut -lo in a prominent eufe. Th'i
C:iy- met tuiee siii'o the iiiti'otlueti'iii. On
this last tx-easion tho gciitlcmau of -!0 was
cleanly but very xhabbily attii'L-.l. H-j
smiled upon shaking hands aatl Ljoking down
the front of un ulster four siztsj too large for
him, said: "This is my business suit.1'
Tho writer is highly endowed with curios
ity, but as it woulJ be manifestly pronounced
bin I taste to arsk a quest ioii relative to the
gentleman's reasons for getting himself up s
shabbily, he limited his curiosity to throwing
an inquiring glance at his new acquaintance.
Tho iinpiiriiig glance, did tho business.
"When wo met tho other night," said tho
other, shoving his hands deep in tho inx:kt-ts
of his ul.stcr, "I was togged up, but it wouldu't
suit me to wear such clothing in my business.
I don't wish to upjx-ar prosperous before the
jteoplo I mostly do business with. It might
injure trade and thou again it might not.
I'm not disposed, however, to tuko auy
chances."
AT FIVE CENTS A WEEK.
"Might I ask your lino of business"
"I am a collector and agent for one of tho
large lifo insurance companies," and he
chuckled ver3r softly.
The writer could not see how shabby
clothes could help an insurance agent along
and said so.
"Tlio great majority of the peoplo with
whom I do business arc quite ioor and it
would not pay to appear too prosperous; not
that I do tho poverty act in endeavoring to
iucrea.se my business. I am connected with
what is called tho industrial branch of our
company. That is, we issue policies as low
as 5 cents per week. You would like to
know, eh, how money can bo made on so
small a margin where tho expense of running
tho machinery of so largo a business must
necessarily be great.' If tho people were to
koep up their payments in the long run tho
company would lose heavily. Now that's
exactly where profit comes in. Say, for in
stance, a child of 2 years is insured at the
rate of 10 cents per week and lives. You can
safely wager that the ioliey will bo allowed1
to lapse beforo the young one i.s 7."
'Even so, I can't see how a man can mako
a living climbing tho stairs of a tenement
here, there and everywhere, sometimes to
find tho iarties out, just to collect a nickle
or a dime"
"My boy," remarked tho agent, with a
broad smile, "it is nothing when you get
used to it. I should say there aro about .000
Icrsons employed in this business right hero
ia Brooklyn, tho largo majority of whom
make a fair living. I cleared over 52.000
last year and havo that sum made this. You
can judge of the magnitude this industrial
insurance business has grown to whea I as
sure you that our company employs 170
agents and collectors in this city alone. I
should judge about three times as many are
engaged over in New York. As to what I
make o:i collecting, that would barely sup
port me. I have Iteen ten j-ears at this occu
lta! ioa and have made by collecting about
?r ier week on an average.
TAKES NO NEW r.ISTtS.
"I never canvass for new risks. I find it
unnecessary. I am given tho ease of Mrs.
John Doe, who has herself, husband and
ihroo children insured at the rate of 5 cents
a week. I go there and collect 'Si cents weekly.
Tho chances aro large that before I havo
made fivo visits Mrs. Doe has for me tho
pleasing intelligence that her sister, J.Irs,
itichurd Roe, wishes to have her family in
sured o:i the weekly plan. I m-ako a note of
Mrs. Hoe's address and call UT'oa her. Sho
insures her family on an aggregate payment
i f 50 cents weekly. I collect the first pay
ment and the office pays me S3 ten for one
for securing the new risks. If the amount
of the payments were to be la it 10 cents, then
I sLould receive but Sk For collecting i re
ceive 15 per cent., which, 1 think, is about
tho rate paid by tho other liffj insurance com
panies engaged in this busim-ss."
"Now suppose, after mating two or threo
jmymcuts, Mrs. Roo should discontinue;
would j'ou be required to return to the com
pany tho premium paid you"
"Yes, I would havo to make it good; but
an old agent like myself could t ako lii3 own
time about it. There is very lit tie chance of
a person lapsing before paying what the
agent's commission amounted to aud more.
Do I have much traveling to do? Well, yes.
I havo two wards to collect in and have
1,001 names on my book. Itlcn'tmtan to
say that I have to visit 1,001 di 9"crent par
ties. It is almost universally the case that
where one member of the family takes out a
policy the others do likewise. I have, how
ever, called at over sixty different residences
i:i one day. The rates paid vary according
to age, as you can easily understand. It is
seldom a person insures and pays as high as
50 cents a week. Say a young man of CI
years paid that amount and diet! at the end
of a year; his heirs would receive S9LK). If
a person dies by suicido crcardtal punish
ment the amount of policy will not be paid.
When a person is insured thai in case of
death $'M0 or over has to be paid, then they
are examined by one of the doctors em
ployed by tbo.insurance company. For less
amounts we take chances in nearly every
case." Brooklyn Eagle.
An Object Lesson in Politeness.
Judge Lorin C. Collins taught tho proprie
tor of a high toned Clark street restaurant a
wholesome lesson in common politeness the
other day. The judge, after lunching,
stepped to the desk to pay his check. The
proprietor himself happened to be behind
the desk. The judge who, by tho way, was
unknown to the restaurauteur laid down a
S3 gold piece. The restaurauteur took it up,
looked at it as if he suspected it to be bogus,
dropped it twice on tho desk to make it ring,
and then handed out tho change, which con
sisted of threo silver dollars and somo little
stuff. The judge, without a word or a
change of expression, took up the three silver
dollars pno at a time, looked at them care
fully on one side, then on the other, and
rang each of them on the desk heavily.
Then, as if he were quite satisfied of their
genuineness, he dropped thcra into hi3 pocket
and walked out, remarking as he opened the
door: "He might have examined it some
where besides under my very nose.r Chi

with the chances of lieing sunk by a f-ew

the stars and the ocean for miles to sea wart!.
Fort Sumter was near, black and frov. ning,
and Charleston in the tlistanc", v. iilt its dim
lights, mat le us long to ho ashore. When the
hour grew late I gave instructions to l he
ollieers on deck ami went below. We were
anchored, but had everything ready to get
under way in a few minutes' time. No
blockade runners were expected that niglir,
but tjiey were liable to como nt any time,
hence my constant precaution. I was taihiug
to my clerk, Charles O. Muzzey, of Boston,
when I heard the alarm gong sounding on
deck. 'Ihe gong, instead of a bell or a can
non report, was our signal to prepare for
action at night. I seized my double barreled
gun and rushed on deck, my clerk following
me. My idea was to shoot tho man at the
wheel on the blockade runner while it was
passing. One of the officers sung out: "Ji; is
a torpedo boat !"
But I did not hear him, and still thinking
a blockade runner was going by, I looked
around. Then the ollicer in loud tones sung
out again: "Torpedo boat;"
DESTRUCTION' AWAITED.
I gave the order then to slip the chain of
the anchor, that tbe vessel might swing
around and possibly escape the lorjiedo b tat..
To my surprise, I did not hear tiie chains
rattle. I asked why and the oilk-cr replied:
"The chain is gone." lie had cut it on the
instant, and the vessel was swinging around.
Then I saw the torpedo boat, or rat her a
small glass roundhouse, large enough iar one
man to stick his head in anil look over the
surface of the water. I knew that .i.'sti a. -tion
awaited us unless I co.ild stop that hi tie

the stem of tho Ilousatonic.

on the cose anil swept into the drawer. The
"best" purchaser looked a little blank but as
the attendant's face did not change, nor was
change seen on the counter, he turned away
with an uncertain smile. The reporter was
turning over in his mind what a good thing
it was to be rich, when the cigar man with a
